'El Chiringuito' Declares War on Vinícius, the Viral Image That Embarrasses Pedrerol

One of the main sources of information and opinion about soccer in Spain is "El Chiringuito de Jugones". The sports talk show presented and directed by Josep Pedrerol has experienced many controversies since its creation, but one of the most recent still resonates strongly because of its other protagonist: Vinícius. The Real Madrid player, after what happened at the Mestalla stadium, has become one of the leaders in the fight against racism in world sports.

It was precisely in this context that Pedro Bravo's comment came. The player agent pointed out, visibly annoyed by the South American striker's dances, that "here what you have to do is respect your teammates and stop acting like a monkey". Furthermore, Bravo himself stated live that Vinícius should restrict his colorful celebrations to the sambadrome for each goal he scored.

Those comments provoked a strong wave of criticism toward "El Chiringuito de Jugones" from all over the world, forcing apologies from both Pedro Bravo and the program... which Josep Pedrerol also broadcasted live speaking in Brazilian Portuguese. That didn't seem to be enough for Vinícius, who was prepared to release a video defending himself against those comments made live by Pedro Bravo.

Amid rumors of that possible statement, according to the information revealed by Iñaki Angulo, a journalist from the program warned the player: "if you release that video, we're going to destroy you on 'El Chiringuito'". That 'threat' caused even more uproar when it became known and continued to muddy a controversy that seemed to have been definitively left behind. But the possible departure of Vinícius to Saudi Arabia this very summer has sparked the curiosity of several social media users.

Roadmap Revealed?

These anonymous individuals have analyzed the activity of "El Chiringuito de Jugones" on the social network X, one of its main communication engines. According to the X account called "@XiohBlanco", the program would be fulfilling its 'threat' through several posts focusing on Real Madrid's '7'.

The constant debates around Vinícius Jr.'s future, a matter of pressing current interest, are joined by Josep Pedrerol's information. The presenter and director of the talk show reveals, always according to "what I'm told from the club", that negotiations have not yet taken place to achieve the Brazilian striker's renewal. This information contradicts the versions of other media and journalists, who even already talk about figures and possible partial agreements reached between the São Gonçalo striker and Florentino Pérez.

The activity of the official "El Chiringuito de Jugones" account on X would seek to destabilize the position of the verdeamarelo player. This analysis by some Madridist fans especially involved in social media would be reinforced and born, they interpret, from the 'threat' made by a member of the sports talk show's editorial team.

The constant exchange of information and opinions around Vinícius's renewal or departure has created significant 'chaos' among Madridists. However, the white executives are very clear about their position because they will try to renew him as soon as possible. They will only let him leave before 2027 if one of his offers pays the release clause valued at 1 billion euros.
